A friendly competition at the Syracuse St Patrick’s Day parade led to thousands of food donations. The St. Patrick's Hunger Project challenged different local Irish step dancing teams to collect food, and promised the team who collected the most got to march first in the parade. The Johnston School of Irish Dance won the competition collecting more that 8,000 meals. Way to go that's so cool and it was great to see everyone out at the parade! Santa said he had a blast BTW...

Binghamton University students gathered to walk for a good cause. Students at the university held the first ever National Eating Disorder Association walk for awareness. The event organizer recovered from an eating disorder, and is happy to see the community march for this important cause. The walk around the campus raised more than $5,000.
